This is a left side view of the gas tank - front is on left.
I bought this from a previous owner, and I was lucky to have made it back home in one piece - I've taken it apart and there were pieces missing, the coolant was extremely low, and I find out there is what looks like aluminum foil on the front of the gas tank. Why would that be there? What is its purpose? Should I be concerned? Should I fix it?

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
